Orange Cased Art Glass Vase with Black Rim

This exquisite item is a small, vibrant art glass vase, likely crafted from cased glass given its opaque body and rich hue. It exhibits a striking, uniform marigold or cadmium orange color, presenting a smooth, glossy, and highly reflective surface. The vase features an elegant silhouette, starting with a widely flared, flattened rim precisely adorned with a distinct black applied edge, creating a sharp contrast. Below the rim, the form narrows into a graceful, slightly tapered neck that transitions seamlessly into a well-defined, rounded bulbous body. This central, more substantial section then tapers down gracefully to a sturdy, circular foot, providing a stable base. The overall height appears to be about 6 to 8 inches. No apparent chips, cracks, or significant scratches are visible on the surface, indicating good preservation. While no maker's marks or signatures are discernible from the imagery, the style, particularly the vibrant color and contrasting rim, is strongly indicative of Bohemian art glass production from the early to mid-20th century. The 'Welz' context suggests it could be a piece by one of the Bohemian glass manufacturers known for such bold, cased designs, possibly aligning with Art Deco or post-Art Deco aesthetics. The quality of craftsmanship is suggested by the uniform color, smooth finish, and the precise application of the black rim, demonstrating attention to detail in its hand-blown or artisan construction. The piece serves as a striking decorative element.
